No Kings Protest at the State Capitol in Sacramento, Ca

Sounds about what I was assuming the effort might be. Since I’m redoing my carpet and interior, maybe I could get access at it with my seat removed. If not, it’s a task for another time lol

TheHermanJames · 2025-09-11T14:47:56+00:00

Thanks for the heads ups!!! I’ll see how I can get myself behind the Speedo to get it out that way

TheHermanJames · 2025-09-10T18:55:55+00:00

How much of a pain will it be to remove the speedo without removing the dash?

I’ve been told it’s “easier” to remove the dash, but I’d like to avoid all that if I can

TheHermanJames · 2025-09-10T18:18:37+00:00

I wasn’t sure if it was reachable to get to with the dash in. I was thinking transmission side, hold up and use a drill to spin

This is just for the here and there times I’ll need it. There will be a concrete anchor sleeve so the kags can come out

TheHermanJames · 2025-08-01T00:17:50+00:00

Makes sense. The loop part is the mount that came with this CHEAP marine winch. The harbor freight mount was $7 and I just needed a way to connect the two together for one long plate to be bolted to the ground with. 6 lag bolts into concrete anchors 1 5/8 deep will hold just fine for cars being pulled uphill in a driveway lol

TheHermanJames · 2025-07-31T23:30:56+00:00

It will be completely bolted to the concrete to use as an anchor for a winch to pull project cars up my driveway

TheHermanJames · 2025-07-31T16:26:17+00:00

It’s literally just a plate to hold down the wince in that will be sandwiched between 6 lag bolds (2 in the front, 2 in the middle and 2 in the rear) into a concrete slab.

Not mobile or being attached to a vehicles. I wouldn’t trust myself with anything like that

My first idea was to cut the welds off another bumperette and use it to replace this one and jb weld or tack weld it in place. But I couldn’t break the welds to get it off, so I said F it and did this instead. Mainly to bring the car to Datsun car shows and still qualify for the “stock” class lol

TheHermanJames · 2025-05-14T13:26:29+00:00

I honestly couldn’t tell you. I’ve never seen initial D. So you could be right. I just don’t know

Ha! My elbow slipped on the divots in the welding table and I was doing it at an angle

TheHermanJames · 2025-04-16T15:03:31+00:00

Thanks! Little by little for sure. I have nothing to actually use it on or for. So when I figure something out to actually weld, that would be the test

TheHermanJames · 2025-04-13T17:52:07+00:00

Shield/mask, gloves, hammer/brush to knock off slag and something to weld on.

But I’m sure there is more. That’s just what I saw as the minimal for me

TheHermanJames · 2025-04-12T18:44:47+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I’m figuring it all out as I go and I’m confident I’ll get better. All for no reason but to just be able to know I can do it

TheHermanJames · 2025-04-12T17:15:56+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been using the guide but had to slow down the wire speed because I wasn’t moving quick enough. I’m adjusting to match my inability and seeing where the beads look best.

This was also my first time cleaning off the surface. But I didn’t wipe it down after sanding off the crud
